Chapter 12

Aiden

Aiden decided Duncan outdid himself with dinner. He expected something mediocre, barely palatable. Instead, the man created a five-star mouth-watering feast. Duncan whipped up an amazing treat of shrimp alfredo, Caesar salad, baked potatoes, breadsticks, and even cheesecake for dessert. It wasn’t a fancy meal, but far more satisfying than he anticipated. Andrew and Ariel sat with them, silently clearing their plates. The food was so good, no one was talking.

“I think you’re in the wrong job,” he said to his friend. “We need to change your position to galley cook.”

Duncan snorted. “Like hell. There’s no way I’m cooking for a hundred needy mouths. No one is ever satisfied, and everyone wants it done their way. I don't take requests either. You eat what I make and that's that.” Duncan had missed his calling. He should have been a salty sea dog rather than a rig operator. With time, he'd mature into the crustiest curmudgeon.

“Well, I’m stuffed.” Ariel cleared her plate and took it to the sink in the galley to wash. “I agree with Aiden, that was easily the best meal I’ve had in ages. You may have missed your calling as a chef. It’s a shame the Gulf has stolen you away.”

“Chef’s don’t make half what I make out here, and who says I'm not a culinary wonder during my time on shore?"

"Are you?" Aiden said with a playful wink.

"No. Maybe I just like the view?”

"Is that why you're here?"

"It's a nice view."

Aiden laughed. They truly had one of the best views on the planet, but he knew it was the money which brought Duncan back year after year. There weren't many jobs where you could make good money only working two out of every four weeks. Granted, those two weeks were back-breaking work, but it made the time off worth it.
